ABOUT RITMOS
2008 – Ritmos (Rhythms) is Vieira’s homage to the cauldron of African-influenced rhythms unique to Brazil and, especially, his home state of Bahia. Samba and Bossa Nova, popular around the world, are only two of the many rhythms so fundamental in Brazilian culture. The rhythms of Capoeira, the Brazilian dance/martial art form, are a driving force throughout Ritmos (Rhythms. The rarely heard or performed Samba de Roda Reconcava also sets the pace for much of the dance. Only a demanding fusion of speed, power, precision and lyricism could do justice to these vital rhythms as they come together in Ritmos.–but of course that fusion is the trademark of the dancers, capoeristas and musicians of DanceBrazil.
